Hi Glen, maybe its not a memory issue at all and its a graphics card issue. I used to have the problem sometimes when i was animating threw the timeline. And by monitoring (self monitoring, i don't have in mind any tool that does this job) the application in flash on one side and the whole system (Windows) on the other, i concluded that it had something to do with the graphics card and not memory or CPU. For a test, try in Flash 8 or older to play with the alpha of an mc (in the timeline) and the same time make an long tween animation of the same mc (for ex. play with the _x and _y again threw the timeline). I am sure you will notice some reduce in the performance of the alpha.I think it has nothing to do with the memory but more with the graphics card, maybe write what kind of card do u use?
